If you use Firefox on Fedora and you currently lose your home page setting after updates please get in touch.

There is some kind of extremely stupid bug going on and people have been talking past each other about it for years. I will get down to the bottom of this.

Edit: more info here and here.

2455031 – Firefox losing preferences / bookmarks / home page [Tracking]

@lina not sure if it's related, but I've noticed that it always asks to be set as the default browser even if it already is. And setting it as default from its own dialog (rather than the DE's settings) makes its icon disappear. I'll see if other fedora users are experiencing or have reported the same problem.
Both could be related to fedora's default config for firefox.

@vincep @lina I've experienced this as well.

Are you two using the Flatpak? Because if so, you might be running into the following bug, which supposedly is about to be or has just been fixed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1911246

1911246 - [Flatpak] Firefox keeps asking to set it as the default browser, even after doing so

RESOLVED (iholmes) in Firefox - Shell Integration. Last updated 2026-03-25.

@VincentTunru @vincep @lina That might actually be it. I went back and checked and I did actually switch to the Flatpak version at some point (because codecs), so it's more likely this. Disregard me then.

@VincentTunru @pavled @lina nope, using the fedora package here.
